Kincardine Community Hospital was opened in 1998 to serve the health needs of the local population in and around Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is operated in partnership with Care UK, a private health care provider.
Within the hospital there is a 19-bed GP acute admissions ward (Arduthie Ward), a 16-bed unit caring for frail elderly patients (Mearns Ward), two slow stream rehabilitation beds and a 12-bed unit specialising in care of elderly mentally infirm patients, with two of these beds used as a respite facility (Ardoe Ward).
Mowat Court Nursing Home with 16 beds is also situated within the buildings.
There is also a Minor Injuries Department with a telemedicine link to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary's Accident and Emergency Unit.
The Community Night Nursing Service and Rapid Response Service are based at Kincardine Community Hospital as is the Child Development Team for Kincardine.
Famous quotes containing the words community and/or hospital:
“Every community is an association of some kind and every community is established with a view to some good; for everyone always acts in order to obtain that which they think good. But, if all communities aim at some good, the state or political community, which is the highest of all, and which embraces all the rest, aims at good in a greater degree than any other, and at the highest good.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“For millions of men and women, the church has been the hospital for the soul, the school for the mind and the safe depository for moral ideas.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
